Matthew Henry Victor Gripp was born June 5, 1983 in Seattle Washington to Meg and Jack Gripp. 

On December 12, 2025 he was fully restored in spirit after a long struggle with multiple sclerosis. 

Matthew served 6 years in the Air Force in Ammunitions and got his BA in Graphic Design. He was quite the character, a sense of humor that would make you question if certain lines are crossable. He truly knew no limits. And oh man was he stubborn. But one thing is for sure, he loved and was proud of his two sons, Jacob and Walt. He showed up the best way he could.We will part with some idioms that only he can provide. 

"The bad is what provides contrast for the good." "Life is what happens when you are not looking." "That's why they give you two forks, in case you drop one." "It's like watching HBO, you never know what's on next." 

"He's a Gripp, we are just different." That you are. 

We are thankful for our faith in having confidence we will see you in heaven where we get to relive the moments you wanted to be part of and will now miss.Rest easy Gripp.

Care for Matthew has been entrusted to In Their Honor Funeral and Cremation Providers.
